History
The Tawhid Brigade was founded on 18 July 2012, operating in Syria's Aleppo Governorate, Homs Governorate, and Raqqa Governorate. The Tawhid Brigade was originally 10,000 troops, all of them Sunni Islamists who wanted to make the Syrian Arab Republic an Islamic state. The Brigade joined the Free Syrian Army (FSA) moderates and secularists at first, but when the Islamic Front received more supplies, it defected to them in September 2013. The Tawhid Brigade went on to join the Syria Revolutionaries Front.

The Tawhid Brigade is active in the Battle of Aleppo, during which it uses hellcannon improvised artillery, grenades, other types of bombs, and small arms to fight the government troops in Western Aleppo from their base in Eastern Aleppo, with much of the fighting taking place in the Old City.
